63% of all Americans believe that the charges against O.J.
Simpson are true, but only 43% say that the prosecution has
proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Simpson is guilty of
murder. When the trial began in January, 70% of the country
thought the charges against Simpson were definitely true or
probably true, and in June that figure had risen to 75%. But
since June, the number of Americans who think the charges are
true has been steadily slipping. About a quarter of the public
now thinks the charges against Simpson are not true.
